Heading into gaming's big Fall season, The MIX showcased fresh new games, gameplay, trailers, demos and announcements in The MIX Next online showcase - and returned to the Pacific Northwest for The MIX Seattle PAX West weekend.
The MIX Next Online Showcase
Along with games across many genres and teams from around the world, this year's MIX Next included several big announcements, including a notable reveal from The MIX team.
The MIX has been developing a new way to help games get visibility with a focus on collaborative production, promotion and distribution under The MIX Games label.
Justin Woodward announced Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland as a lead title for The MIX Games in The MIX Next showcase.
The MIX Next also presented new game announcements and trailers for GI Joe: Wrath of the Cobra from Freedom Games, Just Crow Things from Unbound Creations, Pinball M from Zen Studios and more!
Steam, IGN, GameSpot and Twitch again provided excellent support and high visibility for the games, teams and the showcase.
The MIX Seattle Showcase
Great to return to Seattle for the first time in a few years to showcase even more great games at Block 41, one of our favorite venues!
The ID@Xbox team sponsored this year's opening preview hour, with many from the team meeting up with developers on the patio and all around the venue.
The Best of The MIX also returned last month.
Guests submitted ballots for some of their favorite games to receive recognition and prizes from event partners ID@Xbox, Limited Run, and Power A.
Best of The MIX Winners:
In this fantasy action roguelite, you’ll play as King Arthur, and utilise the Broken Excalibur to channel the unique powers of your fallen Knights as you battle through hordes of dire foes and face off against challenging giant bosses. Players will explore vibrant, procedurally generated dungeons, receive blessings and customize their skills.
5 Force Fighters is a fighting game like no other - where the burning meter raises your focus and the true force of each distinct fighter. The simple inputs are balanced effortlessly with methodical combat systems that also partake in the interactive story - the 5 protagonists will embrace the powers of the 5-Force, reach Corvegas, and try their damndest to defeat Ken D. Sangre.
Enter the world of Mutter Island as Sylvie, a newfound witch with the ability to grow magical Critters. Restore the island, welcome the unwelcome, and uncover the mystery of Sylvie's past!
Lots of folks came through to check out the games and chat with the developers: press, streamers, gamers, publishers and many others in the industry.
Thanks to everyone who helped make these showcases possible!
